My Foccacia is Poofy

So I tried making foccacia last night using the recipe from Veganomicon. I would've thought it would be more difficult to mess it up than it would be to make it correctly, and yet: my foccacia turned out poofy.

Granted, it tastes really good. But it tastes like bread and not foccacia.

What did I do wrong? Too much kneading? Too little kneading? Too much water? Too little water?

Any thoughts about my poofy foccacia would be appreciated.

Also, is it just me, or does "poofy foccacia" not sound like a brilliant euphemism for lady nethers? Just sayin'.

when making foccaccia.when you come to put it on the baking sheet, you have to push it out with your hands and "knuckle it" so you get a crater like outlook instead of even and smooth...using your knuckles.then you pour olive oil over generously and it sinks in while baking.

make your dough not thicker than half inch before putting it in oven...
